Upon leaving Southampton today for New Y6rk with every berth filled, the White Star liner Olympic, the largest steam ship afloat, was rammed by the big British cruiser Hawke, and only the quick beaching of the liner prevented what might have been one of the worst marine disasters In history. The Olympic was later removed to drydock at Southampton, and the Hawke, which was also badly damag ed, was placed In a drydock at Ports mouth. Among the, passengers on the Olympic were many prominent per sons. Including William Waldorf As tor, George F. Baker, President W. C. Brown of the New York Central railroad: Charles P. Bryan of Chica go, who Is transferred as United States minister to Belgium to min ister to Japan; Richard Croker, Jr., Frederick P, Duryea, George P. Ide, Clarence H. Mackay, Felix Warburg, Harry Payne Whitney, Harry Wlden er and Frank Munsey. The Olympic had just left South ampton with its load of returning American tourists and entered the So lent, which swarms with shipping. It was In the Solent that the American liner St. Paul was rammed by a British cruiser a few years ago dur ing a blizzard and many persons were drowned. The steel prow cf the war ship struck the Olympic squarely on the starboard quarter. The jar was felt all'over the ship. The bulkheads of the linef closed automatically with the heavy Jolt of the collision, yet water niBhed In like a roaring fresh et. Life boats and rafts were man nedand stewards went aboutamong the frightened passengers assuring them there was no dagger. While many women were nearly panic stricken, moBt of the cabin passen gers showed remarkable calmness. The Olympic was taking water fast: when she started for shallow water. The Hawke aud other warships stood by. The agents of the line at South ampton were Immediately notified by wireless of the Olympic's plight. Ex amination showed that the liner was Biiintihed on the starboard quarter and the cargo holds were badly, flooded. The deep sea postoffice was flooded and It is feared that mucn mall was destroyed.
